    <reviewbody>What a hidden gem of an album this is. It’s six songs of mellow, psychedelic pop with just enough weirdness to keep you interested. The band’s press info references chillwave and Damon Albarn, but you could just as easily point to alternate touchstones like The Free Design and, say, Caribou. There’s a lot going on in these laid-back tracks: chimes, xylophones, accordions, not to mention enough horns and serious bass groove to make Quincy Jones proud. That doesn’t mean that synthesizers and sampled beats are left to the wayside, either. I’m honestly baffled that this ep hasn’t exploded all over the Internet Music Blog Consortium; it’s catchy as hell and there’s lots here for everyone to like.
